Complies.

Oncer Ri,er 4, Requested to Resign and
Complies.
Last Friday evening Officer George
kZer, the oldest night man on the police
force, rendered his resignation to Mayor
Kelly and it was accepted. II seems that
Mayor Kelly had heard from somebody that
Rizer had been guilty of drinking while on
duty. and after investigating the charge
and ascertaining that il was true requested
the officers resignation.
Oficer RiZer was not drunk on his beat,
as representative of the REPUBLIC has
been assured by persons who know. but he
did take a glass of beer and for that he was
fired" Rizer was a fair and conscientious
officer. and il all did their duty as he did
his, Springfield would have still better
police than we have.
The precedent has now been set that il
an officer brutally beats an inoffensive pris-
Oner not more than half his size he goes
unpunished and receives not a repremand.
but if he takes glass of beer his resigna-
ton is requested. Let the good work go on.
1t is probable that Reserve Officer Durkee
will be Mr.. ReZer's successor.

A Juicy Joke Played on Manager Trump
Last Evening.
There is no one who enjoys Joke bet
ter that Fuller Trump. if the Joke is on
some other nan than he. Last night he
bought water melon and placed it in his
buggy TO take home. Hitching his horse
near the Lagonda house to attend to some
minor business. he left the melon and pro-
ceeded to talk with several gentlemen
among whom we're Hon. John W. Book
walter, Edward kinnane. Frank Clark
AID one or two others. During the conver-
sation, some one Of the boys carried the
melon into Smith Sullivan's hat store. and,
after preparing il 10 eat, all were invited
in. Fuller said he would decline. as he had
melon in his buggy to eat when he got
home. The others insisted that he go IN
and eat slice of the delicious fruit. He
did So. and then started to his horse. to 90
home. He looked for his melon and then
the boys gave him the laugh. Fuller un-
derstood the Joke, smiled and drove away.

feet the Indians came upon the skel-

the jaw-bOne entire and large
piece of the thigh. The great
teeth are each much larger than mans
head and resemble nothing so much as a
large petrited rib roast of beef. The frame
indicates an animal of enormous size one

disturbed at first coming upon the colossal
skeleton. but afterwards became frightened
upon talking the matter over. and refused

the prehistoric beast undoubtedly lies
buried at that spot. The animal mountain
may have foundered there countless cen
turies ago. in the marsh surrounding the
spring. Mr.. Marshall had the two teeth on
exhibition at the bank today. and they at
tracted great deal of attention. The
enamel on the teeth is perfectly preserved

TITS REpoRTED from Dublin that
Mr. William O'Brlen, who is under
duress at Tullamore jail, refuses to
partake of nourishment because of the
harsh treatment to which Mr.. Mande'
vile is subjected by the prison authori-
ties. Why be should do this Is not
clear. Any reasonable degree of OBJ
stinacy on Mr.. O'Brlens part, to the
inhumanity Of the Government, Is
creditabe to his pluck, but there's no
reason why be should starve himself to
death on another mans account, We
fear that his prosecutions have uu'
